Thanks Melissa!Congratulations on top thread of the month! I love the fancy banner below your user name!!
And for us... we want to try dinner at Boma.Boma breakfast looks great! We ate dinner there when we stayed at AKL but definitely want to try breakfast.
The Mara is really good... although we only actually ate one meal there when we stayed at AKL. The best part of it is ZEBRA DOMES! Which Boma also has at dinner.
I've never tried a zebra dome. I know people rave about those but if they have chocolate or coffee flavors that would be a deal breaker.
Sum of all thrills has been on my must do list FOREVER! I have never actually seen the ride, I have somehow missed it every visit to Epcot.
If you like science and math or just designing things you'll love this attraction. It's definitely worth trying once. That reminds me that I have a video I uploaded to YouTube today that I may share for the design part.
Nice score on the insta-fast passes for TT! I didn't get to ride it on our last trip since the refurb so I'm not up on the changes.
Nice people in Disney are always appreciated. Seeing as how I'm not a fan of the changes to the queue I do still like the actual ride.
That's so cool that you keep running into Kathy!
I was glad that we did.
I love your pictures of San Angel Inn! Somehow TS in Mexico has never made our list. If it's anything like the CS we've had, I'm sure it was excellent! The pictures of the food definitely look yummy.
I think you would like SAI since it has similar items - like the chips/salsa and the tacos. I'm glad to see that you like La Cantina since I would like to try that next trip.
Another things we haven't done... visited the American Adventure. Yes, our Disney to do list is super long.
Keep this one on your list for one day. Disney does Americana so well.
Wow, Kathy is super popular!
She sure is! I think her Dismeet calendar was double-booked sometimes.
I love the International Gateway! Oh my goodness for a second I thought you got upgraded again at the YC, lol. Did it almost feel like a let down after the last time there?
Ha ha! No, no upgrade. It wasn't really a let down since we booked a room type that we felt would bridge the gap between staying in the Admiral Suite and staying in a regular resort room which we will likely do next time. It was all good.
The deluxe room looks very nice. Something to consider. Now that Gavin is here, the standard hotel room probably just won't do for us since he naps and goes to bed before us and we need more space. That pretty much prices us out of most on site accomodations unfortunately since we'd need a 1 bedroom villa. But I think the deluxe room might work, is there a TV in the sitting area? At least we would be able to do something while Gavin napped and went to bed before us, lol. Anyway sorry for the tangent...
No worries, you have a good question.
It was odd but there was no TV in the sitting room. The sofa faced a closet. I preferred the 1 bedroom villa to this room type.
I always lived out of a suitcase every time until our last trip when we stayed in the AoA suite. I actually unpacked us and put our stuff in the drawers and stashed away the suitcases. It was actually really nice and it was fun to pretend that we lived there since it made it feel just a little bit more like home.
I can relate to the - "I could live here" thought!! I've imagined the same. But yes, if everything is put away I can relax and enjoy the room better. Plus I don't want mousekeeping to think I'm a slob!
Camille!!! I'm so excited to see you "here"!!! No worries. I'm guilty of neglect myself.Okay, so, so sorry for not getting over here sooner.
That's too funny!!
Boma, does it get much better?!? I finally got to eat their breakfast there this last trip, but I think we'll be trying the Tusker house buffet next time. Which did you like better?
Boma is one of our favorite breakfasts. Em requested it next trip so I have to find a way to fit it in. On the other hand, the safari characters at TH are so adorable.
To answer your question, I prefer Boma. TH has too many options and it is too tempting to throw all caution to the wind and pig out on everything! I'm afraid I will completely lose control.
Awwww that's a cute image. That video at the end of the American Adventure is so well done.
I've never been to the YC, I think I've seen it from afar when we were walking Pat back to her resort, but beyond that we've not been there. I'll have to see it some time, it looks like a beautiful place to stay.
Your room is enormous! What a nice suite!
The resort is beautiful right there on Crescent Lake. It was a very nice room.
All the meets are great, can't wait to see who else you run into.
I think we kept recycling the same person (Kathy) but I do have one other special person making an appearance...
It's funny to hear about everyone's idiosyncrasies when it comes to unpacking at the resort or unpacking when you get home.
Me, I'm one who lives out of her suitcase while vacationing, but as soon as I get home I have to unpack or it will drive me C R A Z Y!! And I mean as SOON as I get home! Okay, if it's late then I wait until the next morning, but as soon as I'm up I can't take it and I have to unpack.
That's exactly me!! My hubby brings the suitcases in the house but he doesn't bring them upstairs so I drag them upstairs and dump everything out on the bed and put it away. That doesn't go over well at 11 at night so I put as much away as I can until he gets grumpy and says that's enough.
Beautiful room who needs an upgrade with that room. Wish we could stay in a room like that when we go. But Mods are in our price range no deluxe and for sure no club lv.......alas we will get squished into a much smaller room and have a EVC in there to boot. lol
It was like upgrading ourselves when I booked the room! Honestly, as nice as this room was it wasn't worth the extra expense compared to a regular CL room. I can't decide which mod I would prefer Coronado Springs or Port Orleans Riverside. Do you have a preference?
